Hungary is known for their pretty and amazing layer cakes, and I love all of them, to be honest! hahaha
One of the famous layer cakes from Hungary are these super good Zserbo Szelet which translated to Gerbeaud Squares, which is rather a slice than a square though!

200 g margarine/butter
50 g sugar

300 g jam of your choice
200 g ground walnut
100 g sugar
